Jonas, chief instructor of the Supervisory Training Program, Engineering Extension Service. “Effective Instruction Is Effec tive Communication” is the title of the article which will appear in the April issue of the American Vocational Journal, an industrial education trade publication. The article stresses the advantages of using good communication in teaching. Jones states, “My personal feel ing about the relative effective ness of our educational system is that, in general, the very best teaching takes place in the first grade, and it deteriorates there after.” Jonas, who teaches administrat ive methods to industrial and mu nicipal supervisors, bases his opin ion on his observations of the U.S. school system, including col leges.. He said in an interview, “First grade teachers do much more in keeping their students interested than most other teachers of higher grades. They put emphasis on communication techniques — they use ‘teaching gimmicks.’ ” His staff cannot be found guilty of boring its classes, which are held all over the state on request of industrial and governmental agencies. “We spend the same amount of time in preparing our techniques of presentation as we do in preparing the course con tent.” Jonas is very proud of his well- qualified staff of seven traveling instructors. They are college graduates who have been in in dustry 5-10 years. They have been supervised by superiors and have held supervisory positions. In order to become experienced in structors they went through a 2- year indoctrination period. 3 Acts Signed By Town Hall For Next Year Town Hall’s selection committee has signed three new programs for the 1962-63 Town Hall Series, according to Robert L.
